*CAPTAIN FABERI beg to ask the Prime Minister if he will state whether people living in Great Britain are, by going abroad to sell State secrets or plans to a foreign Power, exempted from prosecution except in the case of those wearing His Majesty's uniform.
§ THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fifeshire, E.I regret that I do not understand the meaning of this Question. The law on the subject is fully and clearly set out in the Official Secrets Act.
*CAPTAIN FABERasked was it not clear that people could not be prosecuted for the offence if they went out of the country to sell State secrets?
§ MR. ASQUITHsaid it was not at all clear. A British subject could certainly be prosecuted.
